is not residential, and tlie students are not subject to 

 any iniles out of school hours. Women are admitted on 

 exactly the same terms as men, but very few have hitherto 

 graduated — only one before 1894, and six after that time. 



The instruction is partly oral, partly in writing, partly 

 work in the laboratories. Botanical excursions are held 

 nearly every week in the spring and autumn. Practical 

 training in surveying and levelling is given in July of the 

 first year's course.
